Wanted: 2010+ C70 T5
 

Hello,

As the title says, I'm looking to buy a facelift C70 T5. I currently own a 2006 C70 which is going to the scrapyard soon due to it having too many problems to fix. When the car does work it's an absolute joy, so I'm looking to buy a newer one! Unfortunately it seems like there aren't any for sale at the moment. If you're looking to sell yours, please send me a message.

I prefer a car with the following:

Automatic,
150k miles or less,
Interesting color / (half) light interior,
Dynaudio system.

Please note that these are just slight preferences, I don't think I can be too picky with the current amount of cars for sale :rolleyes: I'm located in Hampshire but I'm willing to travel for a nice example, I've got plenty of time due to being on furlough.

Thanks in advance,

Rik

I almost bought the very car you're looking for (SE Lux too) until, on the day I'd arranged to see it, I checked the annual tax.....£550 I think it was !
For a second car thats unlikely to cover £3-4000 miles a year I said NO on principle.
Is your 2006 in the regular tax band ?

Everything is relative: I don't think you can insure a C70 for less than £550 in most countries on the continent, road tax in the UK is very cheap compared to other places! Mine is from after March so I do pay the full amount. It's my only car so it's not too bad for me.

edit: the car you were looking at isn't still for sale I guess? If so I'd love to know where to find it :)

Hi Rik, i own the C70 '06 conv and am suffering from the paddling pool in the boot syndrome and was wondering if you are taking yours to the scrappy that i could purchase the rubber boot surround seal? If it is in good nick. No need to post as i am in Southampton. Best regards Ken.

Hello Ken,

The boot seal has got some damage to it, so I wouldn't say it's in good condition per se, but it's not the area where water leaks into on my car. I don't think this is the most common reason for water getting into the boot, have you checked the drain pipe?

Kind regards, Rik
